c# get method for a readonly attribute without creating an extra attribute

Question

I need a get method for a readonly attribute

 public readonly string accountNumber { get;}

doesn't work. Is there a way to create a get methode without creating a new extra attribute?

A property with just a `getter` is technically `readonly` by default. — Brad M, Sep 24 '15 at 18:48
Note that "attribute" in C# is very specific concept - there is no attributes shown in your post, so it is likely you use that word in some other meaning, possibly instead of "property". — Alexei Levenkov, Sep 24 '15 at 18:48
Is there an error? Or, do you need to perform an operation before the value is returned? — TopBanana9000, Sep 24 '15 at 18:48
and yes Cs0106 The modifier 'readonly' is not valid for this item — vanlooverenkoen, Sep 24 '15 at 18:50
This is probably duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4833635/c-sharp-properties-how-to-use-custom-set-property-without-private-field, but since it is not clear yet what you want to achieve it may be unrelated. — Alexei Levenkov, Sep 24 '15 at 18:52

The answer of Brad M was correct, if you use a get without readonly, the property is by default readonly, so you dont have to write it again. thanks
